摘要: Abstract Knowledge of how to increase the restorative quality residential streetscapes may help offset problems entailed by urban densification. The present study considered effects trees, grass, and flower beds on ratings restoration likelihood for streetscapes. We used digital-imaging techniques systematically vary these natural elements in images streets with different architectural characteristics.

Group mean scores psychological variables calculated each image, then as units analysis regression analyses. Ratings increased number street trees presence beds. These apparently mediated perceptions away characteristics buildings along had strong effect ratings, but they did not moderate positive vegetation ratings. results provide guidance design more psychologically sustainable environments.
